Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Mr. Long Arm Super Tab-Lok Extension Pole will help professional and do-it-yourselfers get the job done fast. The two-section pole extends from 6 feet to 12 feet. This size pole is ideal for exterior use or for high vaulted walls. The pole is made of a smooth fiberglass exterior handle with a heavy duty tri-oval aluminum slider. This provides excellent rigidity and is anodized to prevent rust, provide a smoother glide when extended and has a large comfortable rubber hand grip. The universal threads are die cast and fit most standard threaded tools. The die cast metal threads incorporate an engineered Lok-Thread. This provides a secure attachment when the roller frame or other tool is screwed past the locking thread...this prevents the roller frame or tool attachment from coming loose while painting. The Patented locking device with smooth action diaphragm and pin engage for a positive lock at every extended length. The push button allows the user to change lengths fast and is enclosed to prevent paint build-up. The push button can be removed for easy in-the-field maintenance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works good with Twister Fruit Picker, October 17, 2011

This review is from: Mr. Long Arm 7516 Two-Section Super Tab-Lok Extension Pole, 8-to-15-Feet (Tools & Home Improvement)

The Mr. Long Arm looked like a good extension pole so I decided to give it a try at the 7' up to to 15' size. I've never had an extension pole type device and wanted something I could use the with the Twister Fruit Picker, which has straight threads. I lucked out when the Mr. Long Arm arrived since it also had straight threads, which were aluminum and nice and deep. The two fit together although the Twister Fruit Picker's threads are not very deep so it did not bottom out at all but got plenty tight just with hand force.

The Mr. Long Arm is a high quality fiberglass pole outer with brushed aluminum internal slider that has holes every 6" or so with one push-button clicker at the end to lock it at a hole. The button seems to almost be directional, although it's not marked as such. For example, if you push on the lower part of the button the inner extension goes into the handle very easily. Also if you push on the top part of the button then the extension comes out very easily. Pushing in the center was not as successful in either direction. I found that a bit of cleaning/deburring of each hole helped the clicker slide quite nicely as well.

The unit was delivered on Oct 17 and the date of manufacture was Sept 14 of the same year, so it was very new. It said it was made in the USA on the sticker on the handle. The unit seems to be of very sturdy quality.

There were no instructions with the handle. The only instructions that would have been helpful would have been tips about the button.

I was picking apples with my setup in less than 15 minutes. I feel the Mr. Long Arm will be very useful for a great many years. It's a commercial/professional grade unit and I expect to have it for a very long time. I paid about $39 with free shipping in 2011.

I needed a handle for the Trail Blazer XTD-14TS Xtend-A Pruner that doesn't come with a pole. This one does the trick. It's well made and sturdy, and screws right in to the pruner head. For some reason this 8-15' pole is cheaper than the same model in 6-11' (Mr. Long Arm 7512 Two-Section Super Tab-Lok Extension Pole, 6-to-11-Feet). I figure it's just a pricing error on Amazon's part, but if you want it I'd order it quick because at this price it's a good deal.

Mr. Long Arm is very sturdy and great for attaching a paintbrush to so I don't have to go up 33 feet! I found it to be light enough yet tough enough for all that I did which included painting ceilings with a roller. The price was great too as I compared with Home Depot and Sherwin Williams stores.
